Working with a bad partner.

[Old Time Ump]

In the original comment, it was implied that the 'bad partner' did not miss any calls or cause the other umpire to miss any. That should be factored in before deciding what one does about his other failings and flaws. I assume the discussion is about amateur work. In the past in professional ball, mechanics and mannerisms have been subordinate considerations to getting the calls right. Alas, that is changing, too.
